Annabel Langbein The Free Range Cook

The best-selling companion to the television series of the same name, this beautiful and inspirational cookbook shares the secrets to cooking great food in a simple, natural way. Photographed around Annabel's lakeside cabin in the South Island of New Zealand,Annabel Langbein The Free Range Cook is much more than a recipe book. Alongside the photographs of fresh, seasonal dishes, gorgeous images transport the reader into Annabel's country life - where she cooks on a simple double gas burner and chops wood to fuel an outdoor bread oven. Recipes are organised according to their source - From the Garden, From the Farm, From the Oven, From the Larder, From the Orchard and From Lake and Sea - and interspersed throughout the book are delicious menus taken from the television series that provide three or four impressive courses to share with friends and family. Thanks to Annabel's clever cooking tricks and techniques, home cooks are offered the chance to recreate restaurant-style dishes you might once have thought were too difficult or time consuming. With Annabel Langbein The Free Range Cook you're sure to be a star in your own kitchen.

"If you're enjoying Annabel on Saturday evening TV, you'll love the accompanying book. Her smiling face beams out from the cover, inviting you to share the good life at the family cabin in Central Otago... The food is fresh and simple, the recipes easy to follow, encompassing everything from home-baked bread to fish and meat mains, salads, vegetable sides, desserts and even a selection of (posh!) cocktails. With the accent on freshly sourced local food, chapters are divided as such; From the Garden, From the Farm, From Lake and Sea. And for those of us who forage for food in town or city, the good news is that we can source the ingredients from our local shops, farmers' markets or backyard vege gardens to recreate the good life at home." – Taste magazine
